Check battery voltage and for loose cables. Start simple.

Manual: "To enter diagnostic mode, press and hold the trip odometer reset switch located on the left handlebar controls, while turning the IGN ON."

Have you ridden in heavy rain lately to make you think it is a wet plug? Have you checked for loose battery cables?
